Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5418, CC2520, MSP430F5438, Z-STACK, MSP430F2618

hi

i am using the msp430f5418 + cc2520 combination. i want to know the following things

1. Which Zigbee Pro stack i need to use.i heard that for 54XX series there is a B-stack available.

2. is there any porting guide for different micro-controllers.

Regards

  • Hello,

    There will be a version of Z-Stack (Zigbee 2007/PRO) coming for the MSP430F5438.   Hopefully sometime in a month or two. 

    I would have a look at the family users guide, available here http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/msp430f5438.html, to see what some of the differences are that you may need to be aware of when porting the code.   As both MSPs are from the same family it should not be difficult.

    However note the following two things

    - check I/O usage when porting

    - note the MSP430F5418 (that you wish to use) has half the memory of the MSP430F5438.   I would consider checking whether you feel there will be enough room for your application as well as Z-Stack.    We have had customers who have found 128k flash not enough.   The MSP430F5438 however has 256k.  So I would recommend taking this into consideration.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Yoda

  • Wasi,

    As mentioned by Yoda I think the best option for you is to get started developing on the MSP430F2618 boards that come with the CC2520DK.  The application interface will be the same so porting once the 5438 stack is available will be a cinch. 

    Best of luck,

     

  • Any update on the status of msp430F5438 z-stack port?
